greatest achievement -- the new deal, the great society, the civil rights movement, social security, medicare, the minimum wage, the 40 hour week, the civil rights act, and the voting rights act. that is what made the united states a beacon of hope in a confused and divided world. but too many people now take for granted government's role as protector of wall street and privileged -- and the privileged. the see middle-class americans as overpaid and underworked. they see social security as a problem rather than the only piece of our retirement system that actually works. they feel sorry for homeless people, but fail to see the connections between downsizing and outsourcing and inequality and homelessness. this world view has brought democrats nothing but disaster. the republicans' response is to offer the middle-class the false hope of tax cuts. tax cuts and enriching the rich, devastating the middle-class by destroying the institutions like public education and social security that make the middle- class possible. are you trying to tell me something? >> we're now into the question and answer
